I’m sure you are going to be in love with this recipe, cause I am! Old rag pie is @nigellalawson recipe for Greek Patsavouropita which can be sweet or savory. I have eaten all kinds of pies all my life. I just loved this method so much because is so simple and fast to put it together. The idea of this pie comes from bakers using leftover phyllo sheets. The best recipes are invented always by improvisation, using simple ingredients and the need not to waste. Maybe one day I’ll show my real skills of making homemade filo (phyllo). This pie is so delicious and can be customized with other flavors. Serve with a simple Greek salad, and “Hopa” dinner is complete.
